A Bit of Light movie storyline. Ella (Anna Paquin) is an alcoholic in recovery, who due to her addiction has lost custody of her daughters to her ex-husband Joseph (Youssef Kerkour) and his new wife, Bethan (Pippa Bennett-Warner). With her life halted, she is living back home with her father, Alan (Ray Winstone).
Ella spends her days shrugging off group therapy sessions and sitting in parks longing for the days she could play with her daughters freely. It’s during these long sits at the nearby playground that Ella encounters Neil (Luca Hogan), a loquacious, wise beyond his years almost-14-year-old boy. He latches on to her, seeing a yearning in her that he’s determined to fill, as it seems he may possess a similar longing (he constantly mentions his much older, seemingly absent parents). So begins a cathartic friendship that buoys Ella in the waters of her self-hatred and desperation.
